Advantages of Metal Pallets Versus Plastic Pallets

Recently, Compliance Packaging International Ltd. launched a new website featuring new heavy duty 48 x 40 metal pallets that are superior to plastic pallets in a number of important ways.

Our metal pallets offer better long term savings than other metal pallets and plastic pallets because of their affordability and durability. Companies in a wide variety of industries that desire the lowest cost per trip over time have tested and discovered our metal pallets are less expensive than plastic pallets.

In addition to lower costs, warehouse managers prefer metal pallets to plastic pallets because of their environmental, safety and hygienic features.

Metal pallets can be cleaned and disinfected more easily than plastic pallets, and can also be made more bacteria resistant.

Plastic pallets also can be a dangerous fire hazard in warehouses particularly when stored in large quantities. Metal pallets are not flammable even in the worst fires.

Metal pallets are more durable than plastic pallets, do not break under heavy weight and remain sturdy when stacked with product on a warehouse floor. When a company replaces plastic pallets with metal pallets they often see workplace accidents decline with better performing metal pallets.

Plastic pallets usually cannot be repaired when cracked or broken, whereas metal pallets can be repaired many times for a much longer life.

Metal pallets typically provide more protection and therefore less product damage during transport compared to plastic pallets. The metal pallet offered by our company can carry heavier loads than virtually all plastic pallets on the market.

Moreover, the metal 48 x 40 distribution pallet can carry as much as 3500 pounds in an open edge racking systems. However, most plastic pallets only can hold 2200 pounds in an open racking system.

Finally, companies that wish to minimize their impact on the environment will be delighted to learn that many studies have shown that recycled metal pallets return more energy and have a higher scrap value than recycled plastic pallets.
